DarkstarIV posted:MOTYC: Ilja Dragunov vs Carmelo Hayes, WWE NXT Great American Bash, 7/30/23. Nth but also WMOTY Tiffany Stratton vs. Thea Hail submission match. Just a disaster that completely fell apart in the last few minutes concluding with maybe the worst boston crab ever.

HM: Axiom vs. Mustafa Ali NXT 8/8 Some really crazy high flying stuff and a few super creative counters to moves I've never even seen before like Ali going for a springboard move while Axiom slid under the bottom road while simultaneously giving a german suplex to Ali.

WMOTY: Penta, Best Friends, Kingston vs. BCC, P&P Stadium Stampede. The clusteriest of clusterfucks. Camera had no idea what to film, tons of missed spots, guys wandering around looking confused, typical Moxley deathmatch nonsense but with wacky comedy as well, a Penta costume quickchange that made no sense, chairshots to the head in 2023, the van with Trent's mom and cookies. It was all so bad and so dumb.

MassRafTer posted:I thought it was really good. I feel like we've seen this match like 4 or 5 times before, just with various combinations of guys. This was the worst version mainly because of the awful direction and camera work, and every 10 man Moxley deathmatch is feeling same-y when you do at least one a month. Also adding WMOTY Women's 4 way because it was a quick blah match with a dumb title change only to do the family hometown coronation thing for Saraya. HM: Darby and Sting vs. Christian and Swerve.

Lamuella posted:WrestleDream as an event got two times the motycs that WWE did as a promotion. Probably because no more than like 5 people in this forum watch WWE outside of the few big shows. The list in the OP is more of a list of semi-decent -> good AEW and NJPW matches than it is a comprehensive list of best wrestling matches of the year. NXT has actually been tearing it up recently, but you wouldn't know it. Ilja Dragunov is the maybe the best performer in all of WWE right now.

apophenium posted:This is unfortunately true. I like AEW and NJPW a lot but they're hardly the only promotions putting on good to great matches on a regular basis. But I get it. There's a glut of good wrestling and people only have so many free hours a week. AEW is the main wrestling product I watch and even I think AEW is overrated on this forum. But yeah, there is so much wrestling right now, I can't even imagine also keeping up with Impact and ROH and all of the secondary Japanese promotions.

this kid is nuts posted:This is the thing with WWE - so often I see their fans bury other promotions, but I rarely see them rave about actual WWE matches. If the product is so good, please put it over, that way people might try and give it a watch. The only time WWE fans seem to praise their show is for dogshit-tier segments. Recommend matches 75% of WWE programming is repetitive garbage, and people are correct in not caring about the 800 different Judgment Day vs. Sami/Kevin/Seth/Cody tag matches, but here's a list off the top of my head from the last month or so of very good MOTY calibur matches: Gunther vs. Chad Gable IC title Ilja Dragunov vs. Wes Lee #1 contender Ilja Dragunov vs. Carmello Hayes NXT title Tiffany Stratton vs. Becky Lynch both matches, especially the second Axiom vs. Mustafa Ali Fish Of Doom fucked around with this message at 23:09 on Oct 7, 2023 |

Long-Time Lurker posted:I'm sure those NXT matches kicked rear end but pretty wild to say the list in the OP is made of just semi-decent to good AEW or NJPW matches because people didn't nominate a lot of WWE matches. I didn't even say that. I said not enough people on this forum watch WWE and thus nothing they put out gets nominated, so the OP basically comes down to "Best AEW and NJPW matches of the year" because those are the only shows that more than like 5 people here watch. That's why it's silly when people say stuff like, "AEW has more MOTYs this year than the last 5 years combined for WWE." Well yeah, no one watches it, it's not a barometer of anything. I'm sure there's a bunch of good Impact and ROH and Dragongate stuff that also gets left off. I said "semi-decent to good" because to me personally, it often feels like every AEW match that is even halfway competent gets an HM at least so you kind of half to sort through the filler if you're using it as a reference for good matches to watch. Not making GBS threads on it, that's just what it is. It's a list of semi-decent to good AEW and NJPW matches. When I say good, it isn't a knock. My top 3 MOTY are all AEW stuff. I'm not some WWE apologist, but credit where credit is due. They do put out good matches on occasion that, if you're a fan of pro wrestling at all, are worth going out of your way to see.
